One of my favorite people in the world just stopped by and said, “I got some flowers for you for Valentine’s Day,” came in and plopped this on the kitchen counter. I can’t stop laughing! ⁦⁦@Pillsbury⁩, you’re welcome. Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody!

Sadly, our society still struggles to identify and acknowledge child sexual abuse and to hold predators accountable. We HAVE to do better. Thank you @monicahesse for your excellent article in @washingtonpost today! https://t.co/yy6S4BZKIt @PCAAmerica @PCAKY

Thanks @PCAKY! Loved being your keynote speaker in September 2019! This is a great conference on all levels - staff, organization, presenters, topics, diversity, and of course, attendees. Don't miss it in 2020!

Nothing says it’s time to go grocery shopping like a breakfast of leftover Big Ed’s grits, leftover Wendy’s chili, grated cheese and Goldfish

Yes...what an important reminder!

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We need to be determined to achieve positive change, and also be able to take a long view of what needs to be done. What is important is not to become demoralized. Optimism leads to success; pessimism leads to defeat. One person can be the source of inspiration for many others.

Just finished my Crack-N-Cheese Waffle Cone at the @NCStateFair I know...unhealthy, but so worth it. This will be lunch and dinner, at least until dinner time. Lol
